10 Tricks Fashion Girls Use to Stay Warm in Style

Bare ankles and exposed feet are unpleasant when it's chilly. Pair your favorite flats with a pair of warm socks for an unexpected look that will help keep you warm. If your shoes tend to run small, aim for a pair of socks with less bulk; that way, your shoes won't pinch.

Equal parts style and comfort, a blanket scarf will be your cold-weather best friend. Tuck it around your neck or throw it over your shoulders — either way you'll be cozy and comfy.

When it's freezing out, two coats are better than one. Layer a long, slim coat, denim jacket, or anorak, under a shorter, more voluminous one, to keep the look stylish and fresh.

Instead of adding bulk with a heavy scarf, try layering a turtleneck under your favorite dress. Your arms and neck will be protected, and you can avoid toting a heavy scarf around.

If you plan on wearing skimpy shoes, do your best to cover as much leg as possible. Doubling up sheer tights with cozy socks (or, even over-the-knee socks) helps keep your tootsies — and legs — from freezing.

If you're tired of wearing basic blue jeans, it's easy to don a distressed pair without exposing too much skin. Slide on a pair of flannel tights under your jeans, and you won't feel the cold air at all. It's also easy to sneak cozy tights under loose billowing pants; no one will ever know.

Some days, all you can think about is staying cozied up in your favorite sweatshirt. Make the look work-appropriate by opting for a dressed-up version or layering a button-down underneath. Top with a sweater or sleek blazer, and you're good to go.

On days when tights just aren't enough to protect you from the cold, layer a pair of trousers, jeans, or leather pants under a dress.

You can always pull an Anna Dello Russo and tape heat patches onto your body so you can bare it all without catching cold.
